PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY

The CalWORKs Program at City College of San Francisco supports
students who are currently on or in transition off of cash
aid/welfare. We provide coordinated services to eligible students and
eligibilty documentation is requested before service is provided.

We Serve 4 CalWORKs Student Groups:

1. County Referred CalWORKs (Non-Sip)

2. Self Referred CalWORKS/Self-Initiated Program (SIP)

3. Post-Employment Participants

4. Cal-Learn Participants

County Referred CalWORKs Participants (Non-SIP)

Non-SIP CalWORKs participants are students who are currently
receiving TANF cash aid and are referred to the college as part of
their welfare-to-work plan.

Self-Initiated Participants (SIP)

Self-Initiated Program (SIP) participants are TANF recipients who
enrolled in a community college prior to receiving an appraisal by the
county welfare department. This status must be confirmed by the county
welfare department. The law allows SIPs far greater flexibility in
achieving their educational goals.

Post-Employment Students

Post Employment students are former welfare recipients who left TANF
cash aid within the past two years, are currently employed, and need
assistance in the areas of upgrading skills, job retention, and job advancement.

Cal-Learn Participants

Cal-Learn students are TANF recipients who are participating in a
program for teens under 19 years of age. These students are pregnant
or parenting and have not completed their high school education.
